Two weeks in China during July 2009. A
complete adventure and a privilege to explore a very different landscape, people,
history and culture to what I have experienced before. I was left with many happy
memories and I will return one day to continue this adventure. One change I will
make will be to visit during a cooler time of year - July was just too hot and
humid! A July visit was mandated by the timing of the
total solar eclipse on
the 22nd that tracked through parts of China including the densely populated
Shanghai and Hangzhou.
